FAQs

What is the maximum length of this cable?

The cable has a maximum length of 100cm (approximately 3.3 feet).

Can this cable charge two devices at once?

No, this is a single cable with two interchangeable connectors. It is designed to charge or sync one device at a time.

What devices are compatible with the Type-C end?

The Type-C end is compatible with a wide range of devices that use the USB Type-C standard, including most modern Android smartphones and tablets, as well as newer Apple devices like iPads and MacBooks.

Is this cable MFi certified for Apple devices?

The product description does not specify MFi certification. However, it is designed to work with Apple devices via the Lightning connector.

How do I retract the cable?

To retract, gently pull the cable slightly past its fully extended length and then give it a gentle tug. It should then retract smoothly into the spool.

What does 'RCS Certified' mean for sustainability?

RCS (Recycled Claim Standard) Certified means that the product contains recycled materials, and these materials have been tracked through the supply chain to ensure their recycled content.

Can I use this cable for fast charging my laptop?

The cable supports up to 240W power output, which is sufficient for many modern laptops that charge via USB-C. However, compatibility also depends on the laptop's specific charging requirements and the power adapter used.

Troubleshooting

Cable not charging device

Ensure the correct connector (Lightning or Type-C) is fully inserted into the device. Verify the power source (adapter/port) is functioning correctly and providing adequate power. Try a different power outlet or USB port.

Slow charging speed

Confirm that both your device and your power adapter support the cable's 240W fast-charging capability. Ensure the cable is fully extended and not being retracted while charging.

Data sync issues

Make sure the cable is properly connected to both the device and the computer/host. Try a different USB port on the computer or a different USB data cable if possible. Restart your device and computer.

Cable won't retract or extend smoothly

Check for any obstructions or kinks in the cable. Ensure you are pulling gently and using the correct technique to engage the retraction mechanism (slight tug past full extension).
